Can someone pull the pledge after it reached the goal?

Not under 24 hours.

Also stream and sound back up.

I'd guess so, what matters is the 450k when the time runs out. This is the first kickstarter project I backed to be honest.

did something changed ? As i know you can do what you want whenever you want.

AFAIK once the timer hits 24 hours left, any pledges that drop the KS below funded get locked. I could be wrong though...

EDIT: And it's funded.

 

[Psychotext]

Woohoo. Merry Christmas 22 Cans!

 

[Perkel]

450 K fuck yeah !

 

[derFeef]

Great!

 

[ZoddGutts]

Good to see it made it. There needs to be more God games made.

 

[Ravensmash]

Congrats to 22 Cans - ended up backing at the £20 tier :]

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Uh oh... 22can's official website is down.

 

[sTeLioSco]

Congrats,hope the game is great

we need it to be!

 

[Neuromancer]

I didn't pledge for various reasons but I'm glad it made it. Maybe I'll kick in before Friday.

 

[ZoddGutts]

500k strech goal should be doable.

 

[Rapstah]

Uh oh... 22can's official website is down.

Wait... we all donated to the "shut 22cans down" kickstarter instead by accident! Oh shit!!!

Some part of me feels that this could turn Molyneux from a laughingstock into someone we can BELIEVE in again. C'mon, Pete, death and rebirth is a part of the hero's journey!

 

[exmachina64]

Uh...yes?

 

[kami_sama]

I can't pledge now, but at least I like seeing it getting funded.

 

[pcostabel]

Went down again.

[JaggedSac]

Excellent. Glad this thing got funded. Now hopefully at least one or two of the stretch goals can be reached.

 

[TrutaS]

It is a good idea for him to go back to his roots, in a smaller more modest way. He has been too confident on what big budgets can provide without actually thinking about the feasibility of the concepts. This time, I hope he does more with less.

Upon watching the videos though, isn't he a bit too harsh to his programmers? I mean, aren't they working crazy hours to get this done so fast?

Ask SamVT he is one of developers and he is neogaf user.

Kickstarter is probably for them chance to shine in game industry. Every dev want to work for independent studio. This is their chance to build their future.

Very small team like that and you're all in it together doing crazy hours, especially pushing for something like this kickstarter deadline. Didn't really see him being harsh in any of the videos though.

 

[r1chard]

woot!

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Man, I want them to reach the £500K goal. But in 40 hours, it doesn't seem possible.

I am glad that we're getting the game at least! Congrats to 22cans!

 

[syko de4d]

Man, I want them to reach the £500K goal. But in 40 hours, it doesn't seem possible.

they made nearly exactly 50k in the last 20 hours.
So the last 40 hours should be more than 100k, i never saw a decrease in the amount of pledges in the last days at Kickstarter.

Indeed the upper projection on kicktraq has them breaking 500k. That assumes the current rate of pledging is maintained.

I think it might slow a bit if they don't add some more copies at cheaper tiers. They have 198 £15 tiers and 283 £30 tiers left, which is an extra £11,460. After that, the cheapest pledge that gets you the game is £40 - that could be too much especially when converted to USD.

 

[a secret-boss]

happy this was funded. I was worried since yesterday that it won't get funded

it got changed. 999 20Pounds and 778 30 Pounds are now there to buy.

edit: and they made around 9,5k in the last 3 hours. The 550k goal looks like a easy Goal

 

[Concept17]

Surprised everyone here is so excited to keep giving this guy money.

 

[CecilRousso]

1. There are few games trying to build on Populous.
2. There is more to 22 Cans then just Peter Molyneux.

It comes across to me as staged, to be honest. Might back this now it's made its goal. I admit it looks good, but I sort of assumed he had the cash to fund it by himself and was just jumping on the bandwagon. Now it's been funded, it doesn't matter either way, I guess.

Haters, at this point, can just fuck off and play Fable.


I just realised that kicktraq is slightly behind in that projection so 550k seems plausible at this rate. I think the Linux folk are going to be happy.

[Psychotext]

I hope it gets to £485k at least. I don't really care about the targets after that though.

 

[dose]

Why would they want to play that piece of shit?

 

[Deleted member 17706]

This almost passed under my radar... I think I'll jump in at some level a few hours before it ends.

 

[Frogacuda]

Congrats to the GODUS team. I don't have any money to back, but I'm very interested in picking it up once it's out.

 

[derFeef]

Surprised everyone here is so excited to keep giving this guy money.

I, for one, am giving money to 22cans, and not to a single person. Thank you.

 

[Ubersnug]

Surprised everyone here is so excited to keep giving this guy money.

This attitude is getting quite old now to be honest.

However, well done to 22cans. For a wee while there I was thinking they weren't going to make it.

 

[Ghost]

Kinda dont want it to reach 485k, the story of B&W ruined the game because it stole your creature and reset his growth.

 

[Psychotext]

First two stretch goals are covered. Close to the third.

 

[SamVT]

Oh man, for the first time in a couple of months I actually slept and had a dream. I am so happy we made this goal for Godus. At least I'll be able to enjoy Christmas with my family and have a story with a positive ending to tell them...

 

[Psychotext]

I can only imagine the relief.

Related, huge interview with Peter here: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...ded-peter-molyneux-can-finally-get-some-sleep

 

[me Jojo]

Really glad they made it to 475k, that feature seems really interesting.

 

[Klendathu Club Owner]

Surprised everyone here is so excited to keep giving this guy money.

Yeah, me too. I mean good for 22Cans, but isn't Molyneux pretty well-off? Isn't kickstarter for people who can't fund their projects on their own? Seems shady. "Hey, what would be a good way to get people talking about our next game AND make a lot of money?"

 

[SamVT]

Sam can you hear me ?

How will the Paypal Pledges will be handled? I just pledged because the game will be 100% founded and my only option was paypal.

Do you have any infos about the amount of paypal pledges and will they summed with the kickstarter pledge for the stretch Goals?

Yes, there's just shy of £15K on PayPal now which will contribute to the stretch goal total.

I'm just in two minds if we should announce the amount or not before the last 24 hours are done or not?

Might be worth reading the interview linked above.
